Wetter weekend ahead in Seattle for Valentine's Day

After enjoying dry and sunny weather, wetter skies are on the horizon for Seattle on Friday. (FOX 13 Seattle)

We had beautiful, albeit chilly weather for the Seahawks parade, with highs on Wednesday reaching the upper 40s to the low 50s under mostly sunny skies, creating a nearly perfect backdrop for the celebration.

Only a few communities saw patchy fog early in the morning, but that cleared quickly, leaving behind crisp air and bright sunshine through the afternoon.

Cloudy and cold to close out the week

What's next:

Heading into Thursday morning, expect cloudier skies and some isolated fog once again, with overnight temperatures tumbling into the 30s for most neighborhoods — so another frigid start to the day.

You’ll definitely want the heavier coat early on. By Thursday afternoon, we’ll see increasing sunshine developing, helping temperatures rebound into the low 50s in Seattle and nearby areas.

Chilly, rainy Valentine’s weekend

Big picture view:

Rain, clouds, and cooler weather all return on Friday and carry into the weekend, including Valentine’s Day. We’re looking at cooler temperatures overall, occasional isolated showers, and a generally gray pattern settling back in.

If you have outdoor plans or dinner reservations, keep the umbrella handy and allow for a few passing showers. In the mountains, minor snow is expected during this stretch, with light accumulations at higher elevations.

Snow levels will lower in Western Washington as cooler air returns to the area, including in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)

By Presidents' Day, highs will hover in the mid-40s, bringing a cooler feel across the region. We’re also watching for a couple of sparse showers Monday and Tuesday. Nothing especially widespread or impactful at this point, but enough to keep skies mostly cloudy and the air feeling damp and seasonably cool as we head into next week.

Dry skies will continue in Seattle through Friday. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Thanks so much!

Warmly,
